Athletics Accepting Nominations for Hall of Fame Class of 2014

DURHAM, N.H. --
The University of New Hampshire is now accepting nominations for
the Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2014. Nomination forms are
available online at the UNH Athletics Development website, www.foundation.unh.edu/athletics-development. The
deadline for nominations is Nov. 1, 2013.

The purpose of the Hall of Fame is
to recognize and honor those individuals (student-athletes, coaches
and administrators) who have made significant contributions to the
University of New Hampshire through their participation or
involvement in athletics. All members of the Hall of Fame have a
portrait hanging in the Field House at the University. Since 1982,
the University of New Hampshire has inducted over 300 members to
the UNH Athletics Hall of Fame.

To be eligible for membership in
the Hall of Fame, an individual must have made a significant
contribution to the University's athletic program, either through
participation in athletics as an undergraduate or subsequent
association with athletics. A candidate must have attended the
University of New Hampshire as a student for at least two (2) years
on at least one varsity team and be separated from the University
as an undergraduate for at least five years.

To be eligible for Hall of Fame
induction the alumnus/alumna should have earned an academic degree
from the University or another accredited institution of higher
learning. In lieu of the degree requirement, consideration may be
given to those who showed a serious commitment to his or her
academics and did not obtain a degree.

A staff member who did not
participate in athletics at UNH is not eligible for consideration
until he or she is no longer employed by the University. Active
members of the Hall of Fame Committee cannot be considered for
election until one year after termination of their tenure.

Other considerations for membership
include the following: achievements of the prospective member
during his or her undergraduate or post-graduate years, including
participation or involvement in athletics; the sportsmanship
demonstrated by the prospective member during the time he of she
was involved in athletics; and the character and citizenship of the
prospective member as a student in later life.

Nominees for the Joan Leitzel
Contributions to Athletics Award will be considered for their
significant contributions to the lives of student-athletes.

Nominations for future Hall of Fame
consideration can be submitted online. However, any supporting
information (articles, letters, etc.) should be mailed to the
